I guess some have you have owned or have first hand knowledge with both guitars?
Anyone know the main differences in tone?
I tried out a Tyler Black Classic USA and a Studio Elite HD Japan side by side. I preferred the warm sound of the Classic but with the switching options of the SEHD (mid boost preamp)
The Classic had an alder body with rosewood fingerboard and the SEHD had a mamyo body with a maple fingerboard.
If I wanted to go for the SEHD but with alder body and rosewood fingerboard, does anyone know if would this get tonally close to the Classic?
Thanks!

If you like flexible switching, then look at the Tyler Japan Classic Black Level 3 Huff Style and Guitar Guitar bring them in.
You'll be paying a couple of grand less than a US one
I tried a couple of Mamyo bodied Tylers in Guitar Guitar and they didn't quite hit the mark for me in terms of sound or looks.
There is also the LA Studio Classic to consider (if I can find one!)
Can’t comment on the Classic as have not tried one. I rarely use more than the minimum amount of boost but I do use it a lot.
So maybe the trem is another factor to consider ?
so my reckoning would be the types of wood used for the body neck and fretboard would be the main things to consider to get close to the sound of the Classic.
